- 2:51Speaker 2: Winter meetings in Orlando.
- 2:55Speaker 1: They have gone Mickey Mouse.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That's normally where during pandemics they hand out Mickey Mouse
- 3:00Speaker 2: Championship rings. In Orlando, Baseball GM's getting there so their
- 3:04Speaker 2: families can all go to Disney World on the company
- 3:07Speaker 2: dime and they can pretend to be working. Now, there
- 3:11Speaker 2: was some news out of the Winter meetings of the
- 3:14Speaker 2: Mets closer Edwin Diaz, a free agent, has decided to
- 3:18Speaker 2: say bye bye to the New York Mats. He has
- 3:21Speaker 2: found a new home. The news coming out. If you
- 3:24Speaker 2: have not heard yet, this is rocking the baseball universe.
- 3:29Speaker 2: People upset. They're annoyed because Edwin Diaz is taking his
- 3:34Speaker 2: talents to the Dodgers. D oh d ge e rs
- 3:41Speaker 2: The Dodger is a three year deal for sixty nine million.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Insert your own dirty joke right there. La gets the
- 3:47Speaker 2: top closer on the market and takes away a valuable
- 3:53Speaker 2: piece of the New York Mats bullpen. But don't worry
- 3:55Speaker 2: Mets fans. You have Devin Williams who will poop his
- 3:58Speaker 2: pants by May that DZ a three time All Star,
- 4:04Speaker 2: eight time All Star, and are of under two I'm
- 4:07Speaker 2: told that's good and converted twenty eight of thirty one saves.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I'm told that's also good for the Mets this past season.
- 4:15Speaker 2: He's got the nasty combo dish, a lot of speed.
- 4:20Speaker 2: There's a need for speed, high velocity, and a vicious slider.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Just like when I pitch. Now, I have the lollipop pitch,
- 4:28Speaker 2: which it gets people out. It doesn't matter how you
- 4:30Speaker 2: get them out. It's just getting hitters out. And that's
- 4:33Speaker 2: the case. Diz thirty one has posted throughout his career
- 4:38Speaker 2: big strikeout numbers. And that's why the nerds get all
- 4:42Speaker 2: horny when they talk about Edwin Diaz, and that's why
- 4:44Speaker 2: he's getting paid. So that's a good jumping off point.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question, does this Edwin Diaz signing
- 4:53Speaker 2: with the Dodgers does it budge the needle?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Does it budge the needle?
- 4:57Speaker 2: So I've got stock market mustache and three course meal,
- 5:03Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And we are going to play connect three is what
- 5:08Speaker 1: we're going to do. So number this number stop.
- 5:20Speaker 2: This does not just budge the needle. Okay, it does
- 5:22Speaker 2: not just budge the needle. This thing is spinning round.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And round and round and round.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And like a damn wheel of misfortune, which is what
- 5:32Speaker 2: often these signings turn out to be. Okay, listen, the
- 5:35Speaker 2: Dodgers yet again, they didn't do this when I was
- 5:38Speaker 2: doing postgame Dodger talk back in the day, they signed stiffs.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Now I'm not doing that. I haven't done that years.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And the Dodgers going out there, They're going to Beverly
- 5:47Speaker 2: Hills where Dalo drive and you know, signing every year
- 5:50Speaker 2: they sign one of the top players in baseball every
- 5:52Speaker 2: fricking year.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Okay, it's insane.
- 5:56Speaker 2: They came home with a cologne wrenched closer of their dreams.
- 6:02Speaker 2: At least in theory, that's the key part. In theory,
- 6:06Speaker 2: Diez is just what the doctor ordered.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Well, are you talking about the Dodgers wore in the
- 6:11Speaker 1: World Series. They don't need edwin is okay? Yeah, okay, yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 1: they won the World Series.
- 6:16Speaker 2: They had a bullpen this past year that was stuff
- 6:20Speaker 2: with underachievers, has bins and never wors.
- 6:24Speaker 1: That was the Dodger bullpen.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Yah stiffs like Kirby Yates who had a good career
- 6:29Speaker 2: but was washed up, and a bullpen that if you
- 6:33Speaker 2: look at it from just any reasonable analysis. The bullpen
- 6:39Speaker 2: that forced the analytical nerds that run the Dodgers, not
- 6:43Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, the analytical nerds. Every game was like Benny
- 6:46Speaker 2: versus the Penny, where they were flipping a coin up
- 6:48Speaker 2: in the air trying to improvise what they were going
- 6:51Speaker 2: to do in the month of October, and they put
- 6:56Speaker 2: out a bunch of starters and they would duct tape
- 6:59Speaker 2: their open together and it worked. Then when Diaz is
- 7:03Speaker 2: the kremda krem is what he is, and so he
- 7:06Speaker 2: comes in there and you cue up the hype and
- 7:08Speaker 2: that means, I guess, Timmy Trumpet, we got it?
- 7:10Speaker 1: Where is he part of the true Do we have
- 7:12Speaker 1: Timmy Trumpet not coming?
- 7:14Speaker 3: Never?
- 7:14Speaker 2: It is like this teeter rule the organist at Dodger Stadium.
- 7:21Speaker 1: It's called Narco.
- 7:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna add that to my music on my phone
- 7:25Speaker 2: now because he's a Dodger, so I to play that
- 7:28Speaker 2: unless he sucks and I'll delete it.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But there it is.
- 7:30Speaker 2: There, Edwin Diaz who that famous intro where that Timmy
- 7:35Speaker 2: Trumpet song Narka. I don't know who that guy was
- 7:37Speaker 2: before this, and that went viral and became a top
- 7:40Speaker 2: song and all that. So that's part of the deal
- 7:43Speaker 2: coming to Dodger Stadium. However, the issue I have being
- 7:49Speaker 2: the voice of reason unless I'm not. But Diaz has kryptonite,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and the kryptonite is as a reliever. The every reliever
- 7:59Speaker 2: comes with the fine print.
- 8:00Speaker 1: There's a warning label on every relief pitcher.
- 8:03Speaker 2: It's relief pitchers go up, they go down, they go sideways.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It's like the stock market.
- 8:10Speaker 2: It's like you can invest in a fortune five hundred
- 8:13Speaker 2: blue chip stock, which is there's no guarantee in anyway reasonably.
- 8:19Speaker 2: You know, you're not gonna lose a lot of money,
- 8:20Speaker 2: might make a little bit of money, might lose a little bit.
- 8:22Speaker 1: You're not gonna lose that much.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And then there's the highly volatile stock, which is often
- 8:26Speaker 2: medical companies or power companies, things like that. If you
- 8:28Speaker 2: play a stock market, and that's what every relief pitcher is,
- 8:32Speaker 2: even the good ones are a highly volatile stock. And
- 8:36Speaker 2: that's the problem. Right, the Dodgers have already lived this life.
- 8:41Speaker 2: They have lived this life, this sitcom. That was Tanner Scott,
- 8:45Speaker 2: who signed a seventy two million dollar contract last offseason.
- 8:50Speaker 2: He was a top reliever on the market last offseason.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Seventy two million bucks, and he became the infomercial pitch
- 8:57Speaker 2: man for the product that you only see late at night,
- 9:00Speaker 2: the barfl Mattic, and he was out there and he
- 9:02Speaker 2: was selling the bar from Mattic Tanner Scott. He set
- 9:04Speaker 2: the Dodger record for most blown saves in the season
- 9:07Speaker 2: after signing a seventy two million dollars countract.
- 9:09Speaker 1: He was so bad. How bad was he?
- 9:12Speaker 2: He was so bad that the Dodgers didn't even pitch
- 9:16Speaker 2: him in the playoffs. Playoffs, Yeah, didn't even now My
- 9:20Speaker 2: problem with this. When I was a young lad, I.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Was coming up in radio. I was working in San Diego.
- 9:25Speaker 2: At the mighty sixth ninety which is now like a
- 9:27Speaker 2: Mexican Formatch State whatever. It was a border blaster station,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and the padres at the time had a GM named
- 9:33Speaker 2: Kevin Towers. Now he's long gone, Rest in peace, Kevin Towers.
- 9:35Speaker 2: But Kevin Towers was the maestro of building a bullpen.
- 9:40Speaker 2: And I've always gone by the gospel of Kevin Towers
- 9:44Speaker 2: his mantra way before the nerdation of baseball. And everyone's
- 9:50Speaker 2: been brought in here and indoctrinated in the nerd ball.
- 9:52Speaker 2: But Kevin towers. Back in the day with the padres,
- 9:56Speaker 2: he knew that relievers were volati tile as we've talked
- 10:00Speaker 2: about of all tile stock, and that they were terrible investments.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And the piers didn't spend a lot of money in
- 10:06Speaker 2: those days. They stilln't spend it. I guess they spent
- 10:08Speaker 2: a lot now, but back then they didn't. So relief
- 10:11Speaker 2: pitcher's bad investment. And really there's a lot of year
- 10:16Speaker 2: to year, there's lady luck involved in it, there's workload,
- 10:20Speaker 2: there's mechanical quirks, and relief pitchers often like offensive linemen
- 10:26Speaker 2: in football, the equivalent would be the comp would be
- 10:29Speaker 2: offensive lineman.
- 10:30Speaker 1: That you can take offensive linemen.
- 10:32Speaker 2: And take them on a team that's terrible, and then
- 10:35Speaker 2: they go to a team that has a quarterback that
- 10:37Speaker 2: doesn't hold the ball that long. Suddenly they're thought of
- 10:39Speaker 2: as great offensive linemen because the nerds don't know how
- 10:42Speaker 2: to great offensive linemen, so they think it's all on
- 10:45Speaker 2: the fat guys. Because the nerds are skinny. It'd like
- 10:47Speaker 2: to blame fat people. They fat shame. So it's's usually
- 10:50Speaker 2: the quarterback that holds the ball too long that leads
- 10:53Speaker 2: to pressures and things like that. But in baseball that
- 10:56Speaker 2: we're talking about baseball here with Edwin Diaz and all that.
- 10:59Speaker 1: It's it's it's year to year.
- 11:01Speaker 2: It's a it's a little little issue with your fingernail
- 11:05Speaker 2: that causes a problem and your confidence is boned. So
- 11:08Speaker 2: the Das deal, this is a luxury purchase, you know,
- 11:13Speaker 2: it's it is.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I mean, that's where it pure and simple that went out.
- 11:17Speaker 2: And why would z want to come to the Dodgers
- 11:19Speaker 2: when the Dodgers they don't necessarily don't necessarily uh you
- 11:26Speaker 2: look at the picture. They need bullpen help, but they
- 11:28Speaker 2: don't necessarily have to know and when they can get
- 11:30Speaker 2: other people and they can save some money. But he
- 11:32Speaker 2: wanted to go there because they have all the creature comforts.
- 11:34Speaker 2: They spoil their players more than anyone. They're the only
- 11:37Speaker 2: team in the industrial complex of North American sport that
- 11:39Speaker 2: has two planes. They have one plane just for the players.
- 11:43Speaker 2: They're so spoiled. There's such spoiled babies. They need one plane.
- 11:46Speaker 2: And everyone else, all the supports staff, they have to
- 11:49Speaker 2: go on a different plane because they're the unwashed, they're
- 11:51Speaker 2: the hoy poloy. They go on a different plane. That's
- 11:54Speaker 2: how much the Dodgers spoil these guys. Okay, they're they're
- 11:56Speaker 2: like royalty with the Dodgers, and so you want to
- 11:58Speaker 2: go there, and they pay great money and all. So,
- 12:00Speaker 2: but the Dodgers are rolling the dice on this, make
- 12:03Speaker 2: no mistake, and they're hoping that the trumpet, timmy trumpet
- 12:07Speaker 2: doesn't turn into Timmy kazoo.
- 12:10Speaker 1: We don't want to we on a trumpet. What if
- 12:12Speaker 1: it's a kazoo? I don't know, all right now, Page two.
- 12:15Speaker 2: So the Dodgers move to add Edwin Diaz has led
- 12:19Speaker 2: to an angry response, an uprising, a social media uprising.
- 12:24Speaker 2: The mob is not happy, not Andrew and Bakersfield. I'm
- 12:26Speaker 2: talking about the mob, and there's it's not fair boo hooooo,
- 12:32Speaker 2: A bad for baseball.
- 12:34Speaker 1: My favorite is I'm not watching baseball. I love that.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I absolutely love it.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I am not watching baseball because the Dodgers signed a
- 12:42Speaker 2: relief pitcher. Okay, So question to the angry uprising, what
- 12:50Speaker 2: do you say to the alleged baseball fans in air
- 12:54Speaker 2: quotes threatening to boycott the twenty twenty six baseball season
- 12:59Speaker 2: because the Dodgers have added Edwin Diaz and they're upset
- 13:04Speaker 2: by that. So first of all, stop the madness, right
- 13:07Speaker 2: stop them. This is another reminder that social media is
- 13:11Speaker 2: the funhouse of mirrors in society.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It just is.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Everything is distorted in social media, everything is overcooked. Everything
- 13:21Speaker 2: is a primal scream and a world that needs a whisper.
- 13:26Speaker 1: It just is. And baseball is a weak link sport.
- 13:29Speaker 2: We used to talk about all the time when we
- 13:30Speaker 2: had the guy Roberto on the show Who's the Now
- 13:33Speaker 2: bus Driver?
- 13:34Speaker 1: But Roberto, We used to discuss this.
- 13:36Speaker 2: The problem with baseball is you can have the super
- 13:38Speaker 2: team and it likely doesn't matter. And the Dodgers this
- 13:42Speaker 2: year winning the World Series a great example. In Game
- 13:45Speaker 2: seven of the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays were
- 13:48Speaker 2: on the brink of winning the championship, bringing it back
- 13:50Speaker 2: to Canada, and a absolute stiff, a guy that sucks
- 13:56Speaker 2: named Miguel Rojas hit one of the biggest home runs
- 13:59Speaker 2: in Dodger history to tie the game up, and then
- 14:02Speaker 2: Will Smith ended up winning the game later on, But
- 14:04Speaker 2: Miguel Ross. The Dodgers have Otani and Mookie Betts and
- 14:09Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman and all these studs, and it was Miguel
- 14:13Speaker 2: Rojas who, by any measurement sucks and hit the biggest
- 14:17Speaker 2: home run the Dodgers had before Will.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Smith hit the game win. That's the point.
- 14:23Speaker 2: It's the players on the fringes that often decide. People
- 14:26Speaker 2: get so worked up about the big stars and everything.
- 14:28Speaker 2: It's not the billboard stars that often decide these things.
- 14:32Speaker 2: And let's be real here, the Dodgers have become the
- 14:35Speaker 2: dastardly whiplash of professional sports. They are the full mustache
- 14:41Speaker 2: twirling villains of Major League Baseball. And they're just laughing
- 14:45Speaker 2: evilly like a cartoon villain.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Wood.
- 14:48Speaker 2: They're playing with a knife. I don't know why they're
- 14:50Speaker 2: doing that. They're kicking your dog. And they've gone to
- 14:54Speaker 2: the dark side. And I'm fine with it.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So listen. They keep winning, you know, not around there anymore.
- 14:59Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Dave Roberts they've embraced, and Dave Roberts is just the figurehead.
- 15:03Speaker 1: It's the nerds, but they've embraced.
- 15:05Speaker 2: The bad guy cape wearing. You know, I'm just doing
- 15:09Speaker 2: business and business is booming. Business is booming, and that's
- 15:14Speaker 2: the thing I'm not gonna watch.
- 15:16Speaker 1: The ratings were through the roof.
- 15:17Speaker 2: You had a Canadian team versus the Dodgers, an American team,
- 15:21Speaker 2: a West Coast team, and they set a record for
- 15:23Speaker 2: ratings in the World Series. And the reason they sent
- 15:27Speaker 2: the record for ratings is because the Dodgers have proven.
- 15:30Speaker 2: It's been proven not wait before the dog. The villain
- 15:34Speaker 2: is where it's at. Click any click, you can't help yourself.
- 15:37Speaker 2: You need villains. And the twenty twenty six Dodgers, just
- 15:40Speaker 2: like twenty twenty five and years before that, the Dodgers
- 15:43Speaker 2: again will lead baseball in buzz because even the haters,
- 15:48Speaker 2: when they're drinking the hater raid will tune in for
- 15:51Speaker 2: the shot in freuda, hoping the Dodgers lose, and then
- 15:55Speaker 2: if the Dodgers win, they'll be who's not fair?
- 16:00Speaker 1: Dog player? Unfair? Which is the ultimate look.
- 16:03Speaker 2: If you're one of those people, you're such a bad fan,
- 16:06Speaker 2: it's so embarrassing. It's like, well, every underdog story, this
- 16:13Speaker 2: can blow you. Every underdog story needs a bad guy,
- 16:15Speaker 2: a villain, a can't beat them story that makes the
- 16:19Speaker 2: underdog dummies?
- 16:21Speaker 1: All right?
- 16:21Speaker 3: Mean?
- 16:21Speaker 1: What final point to the Winter Meetings at Large? At Large?
- 16:26Speaker 2: At the Winter Meetings, so Scott Boris held court in
- 16:29Speaker 2: Orlando at the resort there, and he waxed loquacious to
- 16:34Speaker 2: a bunch of baseball scribes running up their expense accounts.
- 16:37Speaker 2: He waxed loquacious Scott Boris about his clients in the
- 16:40Speaker 2: classic cornball style that only Scott Borros can do. Among those,
- 16:46Speaker 2: he talked about the center fielder Cody Bellinger. He said,
- 16:49Speaker 2: I haven't met a team that dodges a five tool player.
- 16:55Speaker 2: See what he did is and he mentioned the Angels.
- 16:57Speaker 2: He mentioned like four or five teams. He mentioned the
- 16:59Speaker 2: Giants and the Reds, which is a dead giveaway that
- 17:02Speaker 2: those teams are the teams that want Cody Bellinger. He
- 17:05Speaker 2: talked about Tiger's pitcher Treak Schoob. He said, quote, He's
- 17:10Speaker 2: truly a saber proof Tiger.
- 17:15Speaker 1: See what I did? Why he did it? I didn't
- 17:17Speaker 1: do it.
- 17:18Speaker 2: If you want to look at the tail of the
- 17:20Speaker 2: Tiger without Scoobs, there's a mystery machine. He talked about
- 17:25Speaker 2: Philly's starting pitcher, free agent Ranger Suarez. He said, in
- 17:29Speaker 2: the postseason, when you add a sores, you're armed and rangerous.
- 17:39Speaker 2: All right, question, how did Scott Boris his latest rant
- 17:45Speaker 2: from the Winter Meetings due on the judges scorecard? All right,
- 17:49Speaker 2: we'll go to the judges scorecard.
- 17:50Speaker 1: In a minute.
- 17:51Speaker 2: It is a reminder before we get to the judge scorecard.
- 17:53Speaker 2: The Scott Boris rant is a reminder there are three seasons,
- 17:59Speaker 2: not four seasons. There are three seasons on the baseball counter.
- 18:02Speaker 2: There's the regular season, there's the off season, and then
- 18:06Speaker 2: there's Scott Boris season. I'm not even forget about the
- 18:10Speaker 2: postseason because most teams don't make the postseason. So you've
- 18:12Speaker 2: got the regular season, the offseason, and Scott Boris season.
- 18:15Speaker 2: That is where Scott Boris emerges from a cave in
- 18:17Speaker 2: Newport Beach and he comes out of his layer and
- 18:21Speaker 2: he unleashes a corn maze of conversation that is so
- 18:27Speaker 2: thick when Scott is talking here that you need a
- 18:29Speaker 2: machete and a Dakota ring to.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Get through it.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Now, his latest rant, it was like something Iowa Sam
- 18:36Speaker 2: used to do when he was on the show for
- 18:37Speaker 2: two minutes before he quit the show. That would be
- 18:39Speaker 2: puns of fun. Puns of fun would be what that
- 18:43Speaker 2: is and a linguistic amusement park. And Boris and his
- 18:48Speaker 2: team of gifted, well paid advisors from their Newport Coast compound,
- 18:55Speaker 2: they handcraft this bull crap. They do I enjoy it?

- 39:17Speaker 1: Got this is one big fan gets grilled Koblu.
- 39:23Speaker 7: During yesterday's monologue, you talked about the Baltimore Ravens and
- 39:25Speaker 7: how Lamar Jackson's decline is more than just a drop off.
- 39:29Speaker 7: Given that Jackson is a two time MVP and Sill
- 39:31Speaker 7: only twenty eight, Baltimore will probably stick with him for
- 39:33Speaker 7: a little while. However, do you think John Harbaugh could
- 39:36Speaker 7: be on the hot seat?
- 39:37Speaker 2: What could he be on the hot seat is? I
- 39:39Speaker 2: don't believe he is on the hot seat. And there
- 39:41Speaker 2: are some Mike Tomlin like vibes. Though, when you look
- 39:44Speaker 2: at the Ravens, they won the Super Bowl back in
- 39:46Speaker 2: twenty twelve, it's twenty twenty five.
- 39:49Speaker 1: It's been a minute. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
- 39:53Speaker 1: with stability in Baltimore. So he's not.
- 39:55Speaker 2: But if you do judge him by the body of
- 39:57Speaker 2: his work, they're a good regular season team. They haven't
- 40:00Speaker 2: really made any real run in the playoffs in a
- 40:02Speaker 2: number of years.
- 40:03Speaker 7: Next, after the Saints win over the Bucks on Sunday,
- 40:05Speaker 7: Saints linebacker to Mario Davis said that quarterback Tyler Shuck
- 40:08Speaker 7: has shown that he has the it factor.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Has he done that bad?
- 40:15Speaker 2: No?
- 40:16Speaker 1: Absolutely not. What he talked me, Come on, what are
- 40:18Speaker 1: we doing here?
- 40:20Speaker 2: He just has an occasional good performance. It's I'm not no,
- 40:25Speaker 2: I don't see that. And let's Tampa Bay didn't play
- 40:30Speaker 2: that well. You know, if the other team doesn't play
- 40:31Speaker 2: while he's fighting.
- 40:32Speaker 7: Next, a report surfaced on Monday that the Steelers could
- 40:35Speaker 7: pursue Kyler Murray to be their quarterback in twenty twenty six.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Yeah, could you see that happening?
- 40:39Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem, Coup. It's kind of like the coaching.
- 40:41Speaker 2: There's not enough coaches available that are good for the
- 40:45Speaker 2: amount of teams that want to change coaches.
- 40:47Speaker 1: There's not enough quarterbacks. So it's musical chairs. You're gonna move.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is gonna get a chance to start. The
- 40:52Speaker 2: one problem, he's got two problems. The one problem he
- 40:55Speaker 2: has that's bigger than anything is the fact that he's little.
- 40:58Speaker 2: The other problem is he's not interesting and playing football.
- 41:00Speaker 2: He'd rather be a video gamer. So why bother?
- 41:03Speaker 1: How do we do? Cubble hop? You pass? That's the
- 41:05Speaker 1: way I fought again.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Oh my god, hollering James, I won, James, Hollering James
- 41:10Speaker 2: who
